READ MORE: ‘People close to him’ – Fabrizio Romano shares what sources are telling him about reported LFC target
In what is now his fourth term at L4 since his switch away from Bayern Munich, we’re hopeful of seeing a bit more of our cultured midfielder – especially should this be his final hurrah at the club.
This comes courtesy of Football Insider, following reports originating from Turkey which have suggested that Liverpool would be prepared to pay off the Spaniard to enable an early exit.

He’s a player we’ll be extremely sad to say goodbye to, should the club not opt to enter into contract talks, though an eventual exit next summer seems almost inevitable.
The frustration has always been that, when he is fit and firing, Thiago is quite easily one of the most gifted and influential footballers in the English top-flight, dictating and helping us control the play.
Jurgen Klopp is understood to remain keen on the prospect of holding on to Thiago Alcantara this term.
At 32 years of age (set to turn 33 in April) and with a difficult injury history in Merseyside – in which he has missed 66 games for club and country since the 2020/21season for non-coronavirus-related absences – it’s difficult to see a world in which Liverpool do extend his terms.
